EXPLANATION OF IDEA

We are proposed two new forms of MP housing one will be public funded and the other at MPs expense MPs are paid a wage the same as everyone else so they can buy which ever house they wish for their moeny and can retrofit it with moats and duck houses at their discretion. However, this should cause no expense to the tax pater.

We have designed a building which would be situated on the River Thames, a simple design for a two storey apartment which would be shared amongst four MP's allowing them to live in the citt of London. The design can be easily manufactured, cutting cost to the tax payers one off payment to keep their MP's in housing. We have tried to design in a sustainale way, using thermal mass to stire natural heat from the sun, using renewable green energies again cutting the cost to the tax pater. Using water turbines submerged in the Thanmes electrcity could be produced to heat the buildings hot water, again cutting cost...

Where the first of our designs is at a cost to the MP and luxury is at their discretion, the London housing should be simple and minimal cost to tax payers; The idea of communal living would act as a gesture to the public that the MP's are doing their best to cut the cost of their living ecpenses.
